thank you for the lovely compliment!
Honestly, it really isn’t hard, it’s just a lot of work..
What I did that really helped me, was to make a dummy-model out of jersey or scrap-fabric, to make sure I really knew how the pieces fit together.
I’d love to see your result!

You’re welcome!
I’m sure I’ll have to make a few ‘tests’ before I dare cut into my brocade!
I’m such a “want it finished NOW” sewer that it’ll probably be awhile before I attempt one…but it is on my dreams list! (I even have about 5 or 6 cuts of fabric set aside just for corsets…ambitious, huh?)
As long as the finished product doesn’t look like something Picasso would have painted, I’ll post it :)
